You’re fast asleep, while I’m wide awake
This whole thing was just one big mistake
I’m closing down, while you’re holding on
I’m letting go cause this is wrong

I can’t help it if this isn’t what I wanted
This is not what I thought itd be
You’re not that guy, I’m not that girl for you
You know it’s true

You’re waiting for a fairytale
You want me, you need me
But you’re never gonna love me
You never did love me
And I don’t believe in happy endings

You just wanted to be in control
I was looking for my own hero
I can’t even breathe
You’re suffocating me
I think I’d rather fight alone

I can’t help it if this isn’t what I wanted
This is not what I thought itd be
You’re not that guy, I’m not that girl for you
You know it’s true

You’re waiting for a fairytale
You want me, you need me
But you’re never gonna love me
You never did love me
And I don’t believe in happy endings

You are a prince, but I’m not your princess
Please don’t treat me like I’m made of glass
Maybe something’s wrong with me
Cause every other girl wants chivalry

But I need space to grow
And I want you to know
I don’t believe in happy endings

This is a song I wrote about feeling trapped in a relationship. He was everything a girl could dream of, and I thought there was something wrong with me for wanting out, but I soon realized perfection and love aren't the same thing.
